Bumrah rages at road safety meme

Jasprit Bumrah was not thrilled at an image of him bowling a no-ball becoming part of a traffic rules awareness message

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah bowled a costly no-ball in the final of the Champions Trophy: Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman was on 3 when he nicked to the keeper, but Bumrah had overstepped. Zaman went on to score a match-defining century as Pakistan took the title.
Police in the northern Indian city of Jaipur, who have been using memes to increase awareness about traffic rules, tweeted a photo with Bumrah overstepping, captioning it: "Don't cross the line. You know it can be costly". With over 500 RTs, the tweet was a hit, and the police put up a billboard of it as well.
Bumrah didn't appreciate it though.
In response, the Jaipur traffic police deleted the original tweet, and apologised to Bumrah. "Our intent was not to hurt your sentiments or the sentiments of millions of cricket fans," they tweeted. "We only intended to create more awareness about traffic rules. You are a youth icon & an inspiration for all of us."
